MF PE Analyst: Chance me for HSW 2+2
Hey everyone, would appreciate it if anyone could chance me for the HBS/GSB/Wharton deferred admissions programs based on my stats:
- HYPW Undergrad, 3.9 GPA, CS major
- Internships at top tech startup (unicorn status, joined at seed stage), top IB, full-time job in MF PE
- President of 2-3 significant finance & tech clubs on campus
- Have not taken the GRE yet
Would appreciate any advice on how to differentiate from the standard IB/PE applicants, especially given technical major/prior startup experience/a desire to start a company one day
Why didn't you stay with the Unicorn if you joined at the seed stage? You could have made a killing.
Left before they took off, also no clear path to IPO or being acquired as wasn't confident in it's ability to be a standalone company
Interesting.
What was your role?
Did you think it was going to be a successful company early on?
also a CS major in banking, although not quite as pedigreed - interested in thoughts on the technical major and tech experience as well
25-40%.
Impressive background, but these programs are intended for those who come from untraditional background business school background that may not end up in business school.
Tons of folks with same pedigree that end up in operationally focused roles that will stand out more than a MF analyst.. chances aren’t zero tho. Yes, CS background less seen in bizz school than finance and business undergrad majors.. but more preference for more technical majors (mech e, bio med, etc.) or arts / philosophy majors going into marketing, procurement, IT implementation, etc.
Would recommend getting good gre / GMAT and still applying, worth the time and effort
I think odds are good. No reason not to apply
the only caveat is that they don’t really need to early admit a PE analyst. 2+2 is more for people that want to do non-traditional things
